AT THE ORPHANS FAIR.
Notes and Reflections on a Day
When the Booths Were Closed.

When the Booths Were Closed.
There are many people at the fair whose acts
arouse my Ire,
And I've got them on my list, I've got them
on my list
To speak of them at such a time I've got a
faint desire,
For they never would be missed, they never
would be missed.
There's the girl that meets you at the door,
ere yet you've doffed your hat,
And says, "Please, Mister. wont you take a
chance on this or that!'
And tho stern refusal at this lady you let
fly,
And tell her that you'll meet her ''when the
swallows hOmeward fiy.''
She continues 10 harass you, and she never
will desist,
don't think she'd be missed, l don't think
she'd be missed.
There's the girl who says, 'sYour name, kind
sir, will Just complete my list
don't think she'd be missed, l don't think
shea be missed,
And watches with some eagerness the mo-
tions of your fist
I've got her on my list, I've got her on my
list.
And the dude who comes there every night
on sport and mischief bent
Who wears silk tile Oh his head, yet never
spends a cent;
And the one who seeks a corner, for he's
tired, so he says
The while We know he does it just because
He deserves the fate of Parsons, or some
other anarchist
And he never would be missed he never
would be missed.
There's the man who shouts with loud ac-
claim, Step up and try your luck
And gives the wheel twist, I've got him on
my list.
And the little tots, thro' scores Of whom
you We got TO run amuek,
They never would be missed, they never
would be missed.
And the girl who pins upon your coat but
tonhoIe bouquet
Regardless of the kicks you make or what
YOU We got to say,
And the one who, when you've paid her,
writes her name in place of yours,
And smiles with satisfaction when the money
she secures:
And opes her book and shows ou that of
names she's got a grist
don't think she'd be missed, don't think
she'd be missed.
There's the timid. modest man. who takes his
station i'll the hall,
And makes that place his tryst, I've got him
on my list
And dodges most successfully the ladies one
and all:
don't think he'd be missed, quite sure he d
not be missed.
And the pompous individual who views the
fair with scoTn,
Impressing those who know him not, he's ito
the manor born:
And the ones who take the ladies promenad-
ing to and fro,
And speak lot OF drivel in their ears as on
they go.
l could mention hosts of others that would
swell my little list,
And who never would be missed, who never
would be missed.
